The entire secondary.... Geez. The entire defense. Yeah, they gave up some ground to a stud RB, but that is the exception not the norm. Browner makes trouble on every single play. Catching AD, always looking for the strip. Nasty hitter. The pro-bowl secondary is going to be loaded with Seahawk helmets.

The only concern I have and I mean only is that Bevell will get cute and pass even though Lynch is gaining yardage. 1/30/2015 - loaf

Well, we've got ET - who plays out of this world. Yeah, he used to be the Deuce, but everyone calls him ET. Ultimus Prime - yeah, I think he's always going to be Ulitmus Prime from now on.Bam Bam - Chancellor was the first to establish the hard hitting nature of this secondary. Others call him The Punisher, I like that one too.And Browner - who really needs a good nickname. All I've heard so far is Bruising Browner. That sounds like some 30's football players name.

For Browner, I like The Hurt. He put The Hurt on Wes "one of the toughest hits I ever took" Welker and he puts The Hurt on lots of WR's.

Richard Sherman doesn't just wanna get in your head, he wants to build a vacation home there.

R. Sherman: "I don't want to be an island. I want to be a tourist attraction. You come, I take your money & you go."

Tru that. Every time those two lay the wood on a reciever or jam them at the line and hose up the timing of the play it erases one memory of jennings or wilson helplessly watching their assignment catch the effin' ball.

Thanks for reporting in Scotte. Much appreciated. I love the quote. It reminds me of something Big Country Reeves said prior to the NBA draft something about whatever happens is supposed to happen and will happen and we'll see what happens when it does happen. I can't remember the exact quote, but it was pretty funny. He was a funny dude. I wish he'd had a better NBA career.

Brandon Browner is an interesting guy to say the least. Every time I've seen an interview with him I've been impressed, because he is a "knock your head off" type of guy, but doesn't fit the "jock" mold at all. He's thoughtful and too the point. To me he is totally like John Stockton. A very cerebral player that did whatever it took to win and you could tell that for every one thing he said, there were 100 secrets he was keeping. But man, could Stock back it up on the court. I saw him and Gary Payton talk smack for 60 minutes from the second row one game. It was just absolutely relentless. I thought Stock played quiet, but really he was just silent to the media. He and Payton were just jawing from opening tip until the final horn. Then they gave each other five and a bro hug and left the court. It was the coolest thing I've ever seen live in all of my years. The guys just shredded each other both verbally, but physically as well. I can't even remember who won the game. It was riveting.

Something tells me Browner is that type of player. Just goes out there and will crush the other guy's spirit and then give him five and say, "nice game" and dish out some specific compliments and then start getting ready for next week. We're real lucky to have him.

don't mean to derail the thread topic, but that GP story was really cool. He is one of my all-time favorite sports stars and for the reasons you listed but I didn't know that about Stockton.

Always loved Gary Payton and the Sonicas. About #39, I like to call him Brandon Browner. It has a nice ring to it. Browner being on a team with many players I like a lot. He is my favorite.

In reading your responses to my story... it struck me as kind of funny that I just realized after re-reading that Stockton was totally like Browner and Gary Payton was totally like Richard Sherman. They both go about their business in very different ways at times, but both come up with great results. Each guy has to play his own way. Brandon is not a big talker on the field that I can see. He will dish it out and put the dagger in with an INT and seems to be quiet on the sidelines, but always patting teammates and focusing on the coach and what is going on out on the field. He's like locked in and mentally preparing. Very Stockton-esque. Sherman is so much The Glove. Loud and funny and doesn't give a rip what anybody thinks, but also extremely intelligent and able to get in everybody's head. I would have loved to see Stock and Glove play together for at least one year. At least I get to see the two mindsets together with Browner and Sherm.

I could tell you a story about Stockton and how he'd monitor his heart rate during games to make sure he was staying "flat" (not too amped or not too low), but I'll save it for a rainy day.

I like Optimus Prime better.

I think Ultimus Prime might have been a Gobot. Gobots suck.

"There is no delay of game. We did not let the team know we were scratching our balls"

I will add to this that Schein officially called Browner a member of the "legion of doom", and Browner talked about all four guys. He was asked who the leader of the group is, and Browner said there isn't one, but all 4 guys are accountable to the others, and they do hold each other accountable. Also that they are always together off the field as well. He did not however, say "My Brotha".

Alright, Shark. I'm just some random guy, but you got my vote for, like, favorite sports fan. That's more than once now that a sports-memory story of yours has got me all worked up. It kinda ticks me off to be honest, but ultimately, it's quite beautiful. The combination of analysis, analogy, connection and emotion... it just embodies why we care about these silly games so much.
